[edit] Jewish?

According to www.israelnewsagency.com/jewisrael194800.html he is Jewish, a lot of Google results come up, with one of the first being his foundation with a lot of Jewish donations, so my guess is he is Jewish, I am adding in that he is, if anyone has any proof he isn't, please show it before changing it.

After some looking around Wikipedia the List of Jewish American business figures article seems to claim he is Jewish. 220.233.48.200 07:06, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm an old friend of Michaels; I can confirm he's Jewish.

[edit] Dorm room?

i know the room that michael dell stayed at to start his buisness. it was 3f east side campus it was a fabulous time to see the room it is now part of history!

[edit] PC's Limited?

I've changed this to PCs Limited, since that's the grammatically correct way to spell it. However, if this is literally what he called it, please change it to "PC's Limited (sic)". splintax ^(talk) 13:39, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Ithink it shoule be PC's Limited. Though the apostrophe is technically incorrect, it's a proper name, so all bets are off. Here is a photo of an old PC's Limited keyboard. (This is the keyboard I still use to this day.) As you can see, he put the apostrophe in PC's Limited. BRITTANY MCLANE LOVES FRANKLIN RAMOS ALWAYS AND FOREVER

[edit] Dirty Donations

Has anyone else realized that the only reason he donated to the Bush campaign was because of Bush's support for outsourcing?

[edit] Stepped Down ?

why did Dell step down for the other guy to be the CEO ?

[edit] Dobie Center

Additional references for the name of the dorm where Dell founded his company can be found at Talk:Jester Center. Johntex\^talk 16:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Children?

Other places on private databases say Dell has only two children. Can we have a Citation on that?
